Last Year's Man - Leonard Cohen[00:00:00]

The rain falls down on last year's man[00:00:01]

That's a Jew's harp on the table[00:00:08]

That's a crayon in his hand[00:00:12]

And the corners of the blueprint[00:00:18]

Are ruined since they rolled[00:00:20]

Far past the stems of thumbtacks[00:00:25]

That still throw shadows on the wood[00:00:28]

And the skylight is like skin[00:00:34]

For a drum I'll never mend[00:00:39]

And all the rain falls down amen[00:00:43]

On the works of last year's man[00:00:51]

I met a lady she was playing[00:01:03]

With her soldiers in the dark[00:01:08]

Oh one by one she had to tell them[00:01:13]

That her name was Joan of Arc[00:01:19]

I was in that army yes[00:01:27]

I stayed a little while[00:01:31]

I want to thank you[00:01:38]

Joan of Arc for treating me so well[00:01:41]

And though I wear a uniform[00:01:49]

I was not born to fight[00:01:53]

All these wounded boys[00:01:58]

You lie beside goodnight[00:02:02]

My friends goodnight[00:02:06]

I came upon a wedding[00:02:14]

That old families had contrived[00:02:18]

Bethlehem the bridegroom[00:02:25]

Babylon the bride[00:02:30]

Great Babylon was naked[00:02:35]

Oh she stood there trembling for me[00:02:38]

And Bethlehem inflamed us[00:02:46]

Both like the shy one at some orgy[00:02:49]

And when we fell together[00:02:57]

All our flesh was like a veil[00:03:01]

That I had to draw aside to see[00:03:06]

The serpent eat it's tail[00:03:12]

Some women wait for Jesus[00:03:21]

And some women wait for Cain[00:03:25]

So I hang upon my altar[00:03:30]

And I hoist my Axe again[00:03:35]

And I take the one who finds me[00:03:40]

Back to where it all began[00:03:45]

When Jesus was the honeymoon[00:03:52]

And Cain was just the man[00:03:57]

And we read from pleasant[00:04:01]

Bibles that are bound in blood and skin[00:04:05]

That the wilderness is gathering[00:04:12]

All it's children back again[00:04:17]

The rain falls down on last year's man[00:04:27]

An hour has gone by[00:04:37]

And he has not moved his hand[00:04:41]

But everything will happen[00:04:47]

If he only gives the word[00:04:51]

The lovers will rise up[00:04:58]

And the mountains touch the ground[00:05:01]

But the skylight is like skin[00:05:07]

For a drum I'll never mend[00:05:12]

And all the rain falls down amen[00:05:17]

On the works of last year's man[00:05:25]
